BlackBox Foundation

BlackBox Foundation Presents:

The Lightning Thief (Ages 13–19)

This is an audition-based production. Not all who audition will be cast. Casting is selective and based on the needs of the production. If you are offered a role and you choose to accept it, a $75 registration fee will be due at that time. (See contact info below for registration scholarship information)

Not all cast members will be called to every rehearsal. A detailed rehearsal schedule, including individual call times, will be provided after casting is completed.

Percy Jackson is about to discover that being a half-blood is more dangerous than he ever imagined. Based on the best-selling novel by Rick Riordan and adapted into a thrilling rock musical, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical follows Percy and his friends on a quest to recover Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt and prevent an all-out war among the gods.

Filled with electrifying songs, humor, and heart, this high-energy adventure celebrates friendship, courage, and finding your place in the world—even when the odds (and the monsters) are against you.

Must schedule an audition time. Additional information about time slots will be sent at a later date.

Please prepare:

30 seconds of a song to perform for the production team

A 20–30 second monologue

A printed headshot (preferably 4x6). (If not provided, a production staff member will take a photo after your audition.)

Everyone called back is expected to attend the full session.

Please note:

Those auditioning may be asked to learn and perform a short section of a song from the production during either the audition or callback process.

Close-toed shoes (jazz shoes, dance sneakers, or character shoes preferred)

Comfortable clothing easy to move in (no skirts or dresses)

A water bottle

(A complete schedule with individual call times will be sent after casting.)

Other Notes

Cast provides their own costumes unless otherwise noted.

Because of limited rehearsal, and the rehearsal schedule being per-group, we will be taking attendance very seriously.
